ABC reporter files from inside Burma via cellphone

Was it an AT&T phone? Did he say anything negative about AT&T? Does he still have service? It’s one thing to buck the Burmese authorities, quite another to challenge AT&T.

Probably saved his life by taking the camera away.

I hope to [insert higher power here] that it never happens here.
